Leaflet demands deportation

Thursday 26: Leaflets have been distributed around Rarotonga stores demanding that a Fijian woman be deported.

In what could be considered vigilante-type action, the poster shows a mug shot of the woman and accuses her of “stealing from your store”.

“Do not let her into your shop. Report her to the police and immigration,” it says.

Police commissioner Pat Tasker says on a “goodwill basis” police have assisted in collecting some of the posters.

“However, we are not investigating this publication, just as we do not investigate what the press publish,” Tasker says.

“If there has been a wrong doing, it will need to be sorted out in the civil arena where parties will no doubt have to prove any tort that may be alleged.” - DK
